It  is  more  economical  and  more  expedi- 
ent to  spend  five  or  even  ten  minutes  in 
properly  placing  the  new  worker  than 
it  is  to  spend  two  hours  or  sometimes 
two  days  in  trying  to  replace  him.

FOREWORD 


The  physically  handicapped  worker  requires  the  most 
careful  consideration  on  the  part  of  the  management  in  every 
industry  in  order  that  he  may  be  placed  in  productive  work 
that  will  be  to  the  mutual  advantage  of  himself  and  the 
employer. 

This  fact  is  true  of  the  returned  soldier  who  has  suffered 
physical  impairment  in  the  service  of  his  country.  It  is  equally 
true  of  the  worker  in  industry  who,  in  the  performance  of  his 
duties  there,  has  received  injuries  which  require  his  readjust- 
ment in  employment. 

At  the  outset  it  should  be  clearly  recognized  that  any 
program  for  helping  the  handicapped  worker  and  for  main- 
taining the  productive  effort  of  the  industry  in  which  he  works 
cannot  be  successful  if  founded  upon  a  paternalistic  basis. 

Every  industry  should  care  for  its  physically  handicapped 
and  provide  for  them  the  opportunity  to  follow  a  normal 
pursuit  under  normal  surroundings  along  with  their  fellow 
workers. 

Then  again,  from  the  standpoint  of  production  and 
financial  returns,  the  handicapped  worker,  properly  placed, 
has  already  proven  himself  an  efficient  worker  in  industry. 

It  is  hoped  that  the  suggestions  in  this  Bulletin  will  be  of 
value  in  better  adapting  handicapped  workers  to  shipyard 
employment.

Opportunities  in  Shipbuilding  for  the 
Physically  Handicapped1 


General  Prin-  The  experience  of  employers  who  have  given  careful 
ciples  in  the  consideration  to  the  placement  of  workers  who  have 
Employment  or  received  physical  impairments  shows  that  the  phys- 
wj       ,.y  7    ically   handicapped    worker    not   only    can    perform 

efficient  service  in  industry,  when  properly  placed, 
but  is  often  a  more  stable  and  painstaking  producer. 

The  purpose  of  this  Bulletin  is  not  to  suggest  a  fixed  rule  for  the 
employment  in  shipyard  work  of  the  physically  handicapped,  but  to 
assist  in  making  possible  more  careful  consideration  of  the  handicapped 
worker  for  better  adapting  him  to  his  work.  A  comprehensive  analysis 
of  the  opportunities  for  the  handicapped  is  of  value  not  only  to  the 
employer  in  giving  proper  consideration  to  those  who  have  suffered 
physical  impairments,  but  also  to  the  handicapped  themselves  in  deter- 
mining what  lines  of  work  they  may  be  best  fitted  for. 

While  there  are  fundamental  principles  that  need  to  be  kept  in 
mind  at  all  times,  it  should  be  clearly  recognized  that  each  individual 
is  a  special  case  and  presents  problems  that  have  to  be  considered  in  a 
zvay  which  zuill  meet  the  peculiar  requirements  of  the  particular  situa- 
tion at  hand.  In  the  very  nature  of  things  a  handicap  which  would  be 
very  considerable  to  one  person  might  be  rather  negligible  to  another 
person.  This  question  involves  a  number  of  factors  of  which  account 
should  be  taken. 

When  considering  a  handicapped  worker  for  placement,  proper 
evaluation  must  be  given  to  his  general  qualifications,  the  nature  of 
his  handicap,  his  physical  condition  in  other  respects,  whether  or  not 
he  has  learned  a  trade  and  is  skilled  in  it,  whether  any  exceptional 
skill  that  he  may  possess  in  his  trade  overcomes  the  handicap,  and 
zvhether  or  not  he  is  capable  of  learning  the  trade. 

Furthermore,  the  attitude  of  the  worker  toward  the  work  in 
question  and  the  effect  of  the  handicap  on  his  interests  must  be  con- 
sidered. Taking  the  initiative  and  showing  the  worker  that  his  difficul- 
ties are  not  insurmountable  is  sometimes  necessary.  His  interest  and 
attitude  will  have  a  vital  bearing  upon  his  success  in  any  given  line 
of  work. 


1  Recognition  of  the  services  rendered  in  the  preparation  of  this  Bulletin  is 
due  Messrs.  Willard  J.  Lantz  and  W.  P.  Carroll. 


\r.<  tlu'i  uikI(  -riving  principle  is  that  whenever  possible  the  work- 
er's previous  experience  should  be  capitalized.  In  other  words,  if, 
everything  considered,  it  is  possible  to  place  him  in  some  line  of  work 
which  he  has  previously  followed,  it  is  usually  much  better  to  do  so. 
If  this  is  not  desirable,  a  similar  line  of  work  should  be  determined 
upon  in  so  far  as  one  is  able  to  do  so.  In  any  event,  the  worker's 
previous  experience  should  not  be  scrapped  in  fitting  him  for  work 
under  his  new  conditions. 

Again,  it  becomes  necessary  not  only  to  consider  the  worker's 
physical  and  mental  fitness  for  the  given  type  of  work,  but  also  what 
effect  his  handicap  may  have  upon  the  hazard  to  himself  and  his 
fellow  workers  if  he  is  placed  in  that  work. 

Care  also  should  be  taken  to  guard  against  placement  of  the  handi- 
capped worker  in  a  "blind  alley"  job.  It  is  very  discouraging  to  him 
to  see  his  fellow  workmen  forge  ahead,  and  find  himself  in  a  position 
where  there  is  no  advancement. 

In  the  presentation  of  the  material  in  this  Bulletin,  it  is  assumed 
that  the  worker  possesses  no  other  impairment  that  would  disqualify 
him  for  the  particular  job  under  consideration  in  each  case.  In 
handling  individual  cases,  account  must  be  taken,  however,  of  other 
possible  disabilities,  and  if  they  exist,  of  the  combined  effect  of  these 
disabilities  on  the  worker's  attempt  to  do  a  given  piece  of  work.  Also, 
the  suggestions  made  herein  are  necessarily  subject  to  modifications 
due  to  local  variations  in  the  requirements  for  each  occupation  in  the 
particular  plants. 

Probably  the  most  important  fact  to  be  borne  in  mind  in  the  whole 
program  of  the  placement  of  handicapped  persons  is  that  they  should 
be  given  opportunity  to  pursue  occupations  in  normal  situations  in 
industry  just  as  the  other  workers  do.  In  other  words,  they  should 
follow  a  normal  pursuit  under  normal  surroundings.  Segregation  of 
the  handicapped  worker  into  special  groups  apart  from  workers  in 
normal  pursuits  brings  about  the  feeling  on  his  part  that  he  is  an 
undesirable,  that  he  is  not  normal,  and  that  he  is  to  a  greater  or  less 
extent  a  cast-off  apart  from  those  with  whom  he  would  be  associated 
under  normal  conditions.  These  conditions  lower  his  confidence  and 
respect  for  himself,  and  furthermore,  give  the  effect  of  patronizing, 
under  which  conditions  no  one  can  give  forth  his  best  efforts. 

It  is  imperative,  therefore,  that  each  industry  provide  proper  place- 
ment for  those  workers  handicapped  in  it,  whenever  possible.  This 
is  desirable  not  only  from  the  standpoint  of  capitalizing  to  the  fullest 
extent  upon  the  worker's  previous  experience,  but  in  securing  employ- 
ment  for  him  in  normal  pursuits  so  that  he  can  put  forth  his  best 

8 


efforts.  Furthermore,  the  industry  itself  receives  distinct  advantages 
in  the  form  of  production  as  well  as  in  the  promotion  of  good  will 
among  its  workers. 

"There  are  employers  who  have  the  imagination  to  see  the  value 
of  retraining  their  injured  employees,  and  have  undertaken  it  on  a 
small  scale.  In  one  industrial  plant  eight  men  who  had  suffered  ampu- 
tation of  one  arm,  or  part  of  it,  have  been  retrained  in  other  branches 
of  the  work  which  they  could  do  in  spite  of  the  handicap.  They  are 
now  self-supporting;  assets  and  not  liabilities  to  their  company.  What 
this  employer  has  done  has  been  to  foreshadow  the  need  for  national 
application  of  this  work  of  retraining.  He  saw  that  the  men  could 
still  be  useful  and  instilled  into  them  this  belief.  Crippled  men  testify 
unanimously  that  the  handicap  of  public  opinion  has  been  a  greater 
obstacle  than  the  loss  of  a  limb.  People  have  assumed  them  helpless, 
and  the  average  disabled  man  will  not,  alone  and  unaided,  march  boldly 
against  the  world's  measure  of  him."  * 

Co-operation  In  carrying  out  the  movement  for  the  greater  utiliza- 
of  Department  tion  of  physically  impaired  workers,  the  success  of 
Heads  suc^  a  pr0grarn  w[\\  depend  in  a  large  measure  upon 

the  co-operation  given  by  the  various  departmental  foremen  in  plants 
undertaking  such  work. 

The  foreman  has  the  responsibility  of  seeing  that  his  department 
is  efficient  and  productive,  and  oftentimes  he  will  have  the  attitude  that 
his  department  cannot  be  so  operated  unless  he  has  workers  who  are 
physically  unimpaired.  It  therefore  becomes  essential  that  the  fore- 
man's co-operation  be  secured  and  his  interest  enlisted  in  the  matter 
of  placing  men  in  his  department  whom,  upon  first  impression  and 
without  a  thorough  understanding  of  what  the  handicapped  worker 
can  do,  he  might  be  inclined  to  reject  without  thorough  consideration. 

Special  As  a  general  proposition,  the  hull  trades  in  the  ship- 

Requirements  yard  are  not  readily  available  to  a  man  with  a  con- 
of  Shipyard  siderable  handicap.     Work    on    the    ways    requires 

ability  of  the  worker  to  climb,  surefootedness,  good 
eyesight,  in  order  to  eliminate  misjudgment  of  distances,  and  sufficient 
use  of  the  hands  and  fingers  as  not  to  prevent  good  grip  and  ability 
of  the  worker  to  support  himself  by  his  hands. 

Loss  of  an  arm  is  an  impairment  that  is  difficult  to  overcome  in 
shipyard  work.  However,  some  machine  operation  jobs  lend  them- 
selves well  to  a  person  so  handicapped. 


1  From     The     Vocational    Summary,    published     by    the     Federal     Board     for     Vocational 
Education. 


Loss  of  an  eye  is  not  necessarily  an  exclusion  in  any  trade  except 
those  which  require  especially  keen  sight,  or  those  where  there  is 
considerable  danger  to  the  eyes  and  where  the  risk  of  the  worker 
suffering  total  sight  disability  as  a  result  of  having  his  one  sound 
eye  injured  is  too  great. 

The  worker's  hearing  should  be  unimpaired  in  jobs  where  the 
working  conditions  have  considerable  danger  attached  to  them.  This 
is  especially  necessary  so  that  he  will  hear  a  warning  shouted  to  him, 
for  instance,  to  keep  off  a  loose  scaffolding,  or  to  get  out  from  under 
a  load  being  lowered  by  an  overhead  crane,  or  to  keep  away  from  a 
live  wire,  and  the  like.  As  a  general  rule,  however,  deafness  in  one 
ear  should  not  disqualify  the  worker  from  shipyard  employment. 

Placement  of  the  tuberculous  worker  involves  a  number  of  factors 
that  should  be  carefully  considered  to  enable  the  worker  to  produce 
efficiently  and  to  overcome  his  handicap.  Such  workers  should  not 
be  assigned  to  employment  requiring  great  physical  effort ;  they 
should  not  be  utilized  for  night  work;  nor  should  they  be  assigned 
to  work  which  will  bring  them  in  contact  with  extremely  high  tem- 
peratures, dusts,  poisons,  and  gases.  Work  in  overcrowded  shops  is 
also   undesirable. 


Grouping  of  Considering  the  shipyard  from  an  occupational 
Shipyard  standpoint,   three   groupings   of   the  various   trades 

lrades  can   ^e   made.      The   first    group    includes   the   hull 

trades,  which  require  considerable  climbing  and  working  in  close  and 
cramped  quarters,  also  the  trades  requiring  exceptionally  heavy  manual 
labor,  and  trades  having  considerable  hazard  attached  to  them.  This 
group  requires  that  the  worker  have  only  minor  physical  handicaps. 
It  includes  the  following  trades: 


ANGLESMITH 

BACK-HANDLER 

BLACKSMITH 

BOAT  BUILDER  (Steel— Wood) 

BOILER  INSPECTOR

STAGE  BUILDER 
STRAPPER  (Wooden  Ships) 
TANK  TESTER 


In  the  second  group  of  shipyard  occupations  it  will  be  found  that 
the  trades  listed  have  largely  to  do  with  shop  work  and  work  on  the 
ground  which  does  not  require  climbing  about  on  scaffolding.  These 
occupations  have  working  conditions  which  enable  the  worker  to  per- 
form the  duties  of  his  job  in  comparative  safety  and  the  worker, 
therefore,  can  have  more  serious  physical  handicaps  than  in  the  first 
group.     In  this  second  group  the  following  occupations  are   found: 


♦BITUMASTIC  PAINTER 

BOILER  LAYOUT  MAN 

BUFFER  AND  POLISHER 

CEMENTER 

CHIPPER  (Foundry) 

COPPERSMITH

♦WELDER  (Electric  Spot) 
♦WELDER  (Oxy- Acetylene) 
MACHINE  OPERATOR 


Key:    (♦)  =  Not  on  Scaffold. 


The  third  group  includes  those  trades  that  permit  the  worker  to 
have  rather  major  physical  disabilities.  The  occupations  listed  here 
are  practically  free  from  danger  to  the  worker  or  of  the  worker 
endangering  other  workmen  about  him.  The  trades  to  be  listed  in 
this  group  are  as  follows: 


BOLTMAKER 

COPYIST 

DRAFTSMAN   (Engineering) 

DRAFTSMAN  (Hull) 

DRILL  PRESS  OPERATOR 


FURNACEMAN 
♦GLAZIER

NAVAL  ARCHITECT  RIVETMAKER 

♦OILER  *SAIL  MAKER 

PAINT  MIXER  SAWYER  (Metal) 

PLANER  OPERATOR  STOREKEEPER 

PUNCH  PRESS  OPERATOR  WATER  TENDER 

Key:    (*)  =  Not  on  Scaffold. 

Workers  on  supervisory  positions,  such  as  leading  man,  quarter- 
man,  and  foreman,  are  not  included  in  this  discussion,  as  their  duties 
involve  essentially  knowledge  of  the  work  that  is  under  their  super- 
vision and  ability  to  handle  men,  and  do  not  lend  themselves  readily 
to  standardization  in  this  regard. 

In  the  following  pages,  where  the  various  handicaps  themselves 
are  taken  as  the  basis  for  consideration  of  the  placement  of  workers, 
two  methods  of  presentation  will  be  noticed.  In  most  instances,  the 
handicap  is  listed  and  appearing  under  it  are  given  the  various  ship- 
yard occupations  in  which  the  worker  could  serve  with  such  a  handicap. 
The  reverse  of  this  applies  in  instances  where  the  occupations  appear 
in  italics.  In  other  words,  occupations  printed  in  italics  are  those  in 
which  the  worker  should  not  serve  if  he  possesses  the  handicap  under 
consideration.1 


1  Use  of  the  Special  Bulletin,  "Aids  to  Employment  Managers  and  Interviewers  on 
Shipyard  Occupations,"  previously  issued,  will  be  found  to  be  of  valuable  assistance  in 
connection   with   this   Bulletin.
